When we were dating, my now-wife and I used to carpool from the same location back home. We had a rule: The car ride home was for venting, but work-talk stopped when we got out of the car. This was great! (Sometimes we'd stay in the car in the parking garage a little extra if it was an extra bad day)

Now that we're not…

I see your point, but Windows (assuming we're talking Windows here) does a pretty good job keeping things from getting too fragmented in the first place these days. Yes, its a temporary thing, but for *most* people, its good enough. Some defragmenters (O&O, for example) even let you specify specific files and…

Hardly. They seem pretty durable to me, with constant writing, almost to a petabyte:

Or just defragment your hard drive, which does the same thing, dynamically, in the background, with no need for other partitions.

Also, there is Lender-Paid PMI (LPMI) where the lender basically pays the PMI in a single payment as I discussed. It sounds tempting, but they will probably bump up your rate to counter-act it, in which case you're paying for that PMI over the life of the loan. Decreases your monthly payments significantly, but it…

Just bought my second home. In this area, housing is crazy expensive, so unlike my first, I could not put 20% down to avoid PMI. PMI would have added an extra $300 to my monthly payment, something I didn't want, even though it would eventually go away once I reach 80% LTV. I had enough cash on hand to allow a few…

Combining Keepass and Dropbox / Google Drive isn't defeating the purpose. Think of it as bringing your own lock to use in a safe deposit box; you don't have to trust the bank to not look at your stuff.

This is now a thing.

Not to nit-pick, but I feel like the step where you add hot water means its not cold-brewed. Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding you. :)

How does this affect overseas military and diplomatic personnel who have APO/FPO/DPO billing/shipping addresses with state entries like AE, AA or AP?

I'm using NeatDesk right now, but really wish the software were a little more powerful and snappier. Some suggestions I sent them were to multithread the OCR, and add a category for recognizing statements, rather than just Receipts and generic "documents". A faster way to move between "Combine pages into one…

I once saw a lady ask someone to switch seats, but did not give any reason. The woman sitting polite declined. The lady then paraded her children from behind her (there had been no indication that she even had kids, or why she wanted to switch), and then berated the poor woman sitting down. "Why would you not let me…

Then!

Hello, and thanks for your time.

As others mentioned: This information is already out there for bad guys. Key knocking, safe cracking, kicking doors in, manipulating the chain lock... its all out there for bad guys. Bad guys may have found it first, even before it was widely publicized. Sure, it sucks that its trivial for someone to inconspicuously…
